Opencv Rtsp Stream timeout

Python

I have an RTSP URL for streaming from a CCTV camera, but I get the following error:

[ WARN:0@30.061] global cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp:453 _opencv_ffmpeg_interrupt_callback Stream timeout triggered after 30046.359055 ms

When I test the same URL in VLC by opening the network stream, the live feed works perfectly.

What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?

Can you share your code, are you entering in a username and password or using any form of authorization when streaming with VLC?

I directly pass the username & password in RTSP url both VLC & Opencv also
Ex : rtsp://xxx:yyyy@x.x.x.x:yyyy/1/profile3/media.smp

My code :

def multiple_camera(camera_event):
main_instance = Main(camera_event=camera_event)
try:
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(camera_event[“uri”])
if not cap.isOpened():
LOGGER.error(“Cannot open camera”)
sys.exit()
LOGGER.info(f"{camera_event[‘device_name’]} Camera is online now with FPS of {cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS)}")

    while True:
        FRAME_NUMBER = int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES))
        ret, frame = cap.read()
        if not ret:
            LOGGER.error(f"Can't receive frame (stream end?). trying to reconnect ... {camera_event['uri']}")
            cap = cv2.VideoCapture(camera_event["uri"])
            continue
        if FRAME_NUMBER % 6 == 0:
            frame = main_instance.main_operation(
                image=frame, current_frame_number=FRAME_NUMBER
            )
            # cv2.imwrite('base_test.png',frame)
            cv2.namedWindow("Combined Frame", cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL)
            cv2.imshow("Combined Frame", frame)
            if cv2.waitKey(1) == ord("q"):
                break

finally:
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()
    main_instance.disconnect_inference()
    LOGGER.info(f"{camera_event['device_name']} Camera is exit now")
